i really just stared at the screen for 5 minutes after the finale ended, with my jaw slack.

i think i'm officially ready to give this show the blue ribbon. better than the sopranos. better than your momma biscuits.

me too.... i was still kinda in shock today...

i love this show, it's the only show i really follow

Rita's death was stupid. Her character wasn't nearly compelling enough to warrant that twist so it felt like a cheap ploy. She reminded me a lot of Skyler from Breaking Bad. They played up the "nagging suspicious bitch" angle too much and it made her flat and boring. Shows like sons of anarchy make dexter seem sloppy and juvenile in comparison.

I think it's less about the death of Rita and more about the fact that his son now experienced the exact same thing that made Dexter who he is (aka, who he has grown to hate).

That was my take on it, though.

This season of "It's Always Sunny" is over as well, so don't count on it to relieve you for too long.

Watch a season and curiosity will deepen into full-on mystery

I watched this show right up until the plot twist about his brother also being a genius killer arch-nemesis and then it was as though I woke from a spell.

my girlfriend's initial theory was that elliott killed rita...which could make sense, but doesn't seem to be the case.

I don't think that theory makes much sense at all

Hahaha, seriously... TRINITY DID IT... there's nothing else to it. Lithgow and the writers/producers have already talked about it plenty, it was that evil fuck who stabs women in bathtubs, not the horny neighbor who Dexter already knocked back into his place.
